Field Description
Input(normal): 0 packets, 0 bytes
0 unicasts, 0 broadcasts, 0
multicasts, 0 pauses
The two fields on the first line represent the inbound normal traffic
and pause frame statistics (in packets and bytes) for the
interface.
The four fields on the second line represent:
• Number of inbound normal unicast packets.
• Number of inbound normal broadcasts.
• Number of inbound normal multicasts.
• Number of inbound normal pause frames.
A hyphen (-) indicates that the statistical item is not supported.
input errors Statistics of incoming error packets.
runts
Number of inbound frames meeting the following conditions:
• Shorter than 64 bytes.
• In correct format.
• Containing valid CRCs.
giants
Number of inbound giants. Giants refer to frames larger than the
maximum frame length supported on the interface.
For an Ethernet interface that does not permit jumbo frames, the
maximum frame length is as follows:
• 1518 bytes (without VLAN tags).
• 1522 bytes (with VLAN tags).
For an Ethernet interface that permits jumbo frames, the
maximum Ethernet frame length is set when you configure jumbo
frame support on the interface.
throttles
Number of inbound frames that had a non-integer number of
bytes.
CRC
Total number of inbound frames that had a normal length, but
contained CRC errors.
frame
Total number of inbound frames that contained CRC errors and a
non-integer number of bytes.
overruns
Number of packets dropped because the input rate of the port
exceeded the queuing capability.
aborts
Total number of illegal inbound packets:
• Fragment frames—CRC error frames shorter than 64
bytes. The length (in bytes) can be an integral or
non-integral value.
• Jabber frames—CRC error frames greater than the
maximum frame length supported on the Ethernet interface
(with an integral or non-integral length).
{ For an Ethernet interface that does not permit jumbo
frames, the maximum frame length is 1518 bytes
(without VLAN tags) or 1522 bytes (with VLAN tags).
{ For an Ethernet interface that permits jumbo frames, the
maximum Ethernet frame length is set when you
configure jumbo frame support on the interface.
• Symbol error frames—Frames that contained a minimum
of one undefined symbol.
• Unknown operation code frames—Non-pause MAC
control frames.
• Length error frames—Frames whose 802.3 length fields
did not match the actual frame length (46 to 1500 bytes).
